It was a wonder goal from Son that put Spurs in front in the 13th minute. Freed down the left by Kane, the South Korean cut inside and curled a brilliant 25-yard (metre) strike into the top corner.

Son returned the favour to tee up Kane to smash in from close range in first-half stoppage time as Tottenham returned to first place. Arsenal are 11 points behind in 15th place.
